    Adjusting system latency with a Windows PC Adjusting the buffer depth varies the latency of the computer system used together with the TubeFire 8™. Typical recording software programs utilize either WDM or ASIO drivers. Adjusting the buffer depth control to the left will reduce the buffer size and therefore reduce the latency. The actual time rea ...
